A Return at Dawn [[Training]]

[Mizaki Saitosen, the Plague.]

|OOC: Finally back after about a year off. |

Saitosen awoke at dawn, blinking at the sunlight shining in through his blinds. He stretched up as he yawned into the new day, a day full of perfection. The antihero stood up and shook his head of long hair to liven himself up and immediately stepped outside the door of his cabin, squinting his eyes in the sunlight, his cold expression still clearly visible. Saitosen walked abroad and stretched for a few short minutes while he gathered his training equipment, doing his daily routine of wall running, flipping and the likes. He began his mile walk towards his favorite training spot.

He finished his walk just barely breaking a sweat, it was extremely hot outside so when he reached the river he was overjoyed that it was still cool from the night's breeze. The river was a beautiful shade of blue and the lush surroundings made the spot all that more appealing.

Once Sait had finished admiring the beauty he settled into the scroll he had found in his daily training box.

Sounded simple enough to him. He nodded to himself in approval and stepped out onto the lake, beginning to feel to cool water on the balls of his feet. He decided that if he was to heat up this lake that he would have to put on some Zori, which was his next reaction. He placed his Zori onto his feet and practiced the hand signs on the water. "If this works like it should, my attacks will just be that much more painful." Saitosen muttered to himself.

Once he had the hand signs memorized he began testing the jutsu itself out on a small portion of water in the lake. **Rat**Ox**Boar**Dragon**Boar* Saitosen's hands flashed as he performed these symbols with masterful precision. As Saitosen finished the second Boar symbol he shouted "Netou no jutsu!" and reached down to touch the body of water. The water began to hiss and steam began to billow from the surface. With this, Saitosen's hand started to feel the heat, a searing pain gripped Saitosen's hand for merely a second before Saitosen's hand instinctively drew back. Saitosen smiled at this first success with the Netou no Jutsu.

Trying again, Saitosen quickly flashed the hand signs associated with this specific Jutsu. Yet again his hands flashed with blinding speed, *Rat**Ox**Boar**Dragon**Boar* and he again shouted "Netou no Jutsu!". He reached down towards the surface of the lake and touched into it with the tips of his index and middle fingers. He yet again felt the rush of chakra flow through his body, the heat coming through his fingers, and he saw the water begin to boil. The steam began to rise yet again, and the burning sensation on Saitosen's hand arrived just on time. Again, Saitosen's instinctive disire to avoid pain jerked his hand back to avoid the pain involved with boiling hot water.

[Mizaki Saitosen, the Plague.]

Saitosen took his hand out of the boiling hot water and turned around. He dipped his left hand into the cool water and rubbed it along his right arm, he then returned the favor to his other hand. Saitosen decided to try the skill out on a much smaller surface level, and returned to his home to get a bucket. His trip was short and he arrived at his cabin in less than 5 minutes, retrieving the bucket and heading back to the lake in less than 10.

Saitosen filled the bucket nearly to the brim with water from the lake and placed it on the grass. He again repeated the hand signs. *Rat**Ox**Boar**Dragon**Boar*" and shouted the worlds aloud " Netou no Jutsu!". The chakra he summoned coursed through his left arm as he finished the last hand seal. He stretched his index and middle fingers yet again as he lowered them to the bucket, and slowly inserted them into the cool water.

The water's complexion even changed, and Saitosen saw the surface of the water slowly begin to bubble. Saitosen waited with his fingers in the water, waited for the stinging sensation to connect with the nerves in his fingers. But this sensation didn't come, and the bubbling very quickly ceased to be. Saitosen was astonished that although he could boil a portion of the lake, he could not boil a small bucket of water.

Saitosen had a look of confusion upon his face, but none the less he retrieved his fingers from the water and began to summon his chakra yet again. Summoning just enough, he started the handsigns again and muttered the words yet again. He reached his fingers into the water yet again and the same result occurred. The water bubbled for a few seconds, but then receded back into normal water

Saitosen was becoming visibly angry at this failure in what seemed to be such a simple Jutsu. Saitosen calmed himself, for it was use less to get angry at something so miniscule. Saitosen adjusted himself and once again tried the Jutsu, this time with slightly better results. This third attempt the water actually felt hot when he removed his hand and the bubbling lasted for almost 5 more seconds than usual. But alas, it still failed.

Saitosen was slightly pleased at the new results, smiling slightly to himself. Once his mini celebration was over, Saitosen returned to serious training. He repeated the same handsigns and verbalization as before, this time emphasizing the words. On this, his fourth attempt, the water felt as if it was heating up rapidly under his fingertips. Saitosen felt a slight feeling of joy overcome his features, and he pulled his hand out of the water.

Reaching down hopefully, Saitosen touched the sides of the bucket and they were hot! Saitosen punched at the air, congratulating himself on his victory. But he acted too soon, as he reached down to touch once more, the bucket was already cold again. Saitosen's faced cringed in surprise and anger, and he began his Jutsu once more.

[Mizaki Saitosen, the Plague.]

Starting from the beginning, Saitosen formed his handsigns and shouted the jutsu's name aloud. His hands trembled from the amount of chakra he used for this jutsu, which was overtly too much. Saitosen stopped halfway through the jutsu because he became slightly dizzy, he said to himself "Next technique will definitely be a TaiJutsu.".

He then gathered himself and began to summon his chakra once more. He felt the chakra course through his muscle and moved his hands to form the proper seals. He then reached his hand towards the bucket and shouted "NETOU NO JUTSU!" He felt the heat wave go through his fingers and into the bucket of cool water and saw the water begin to bubble more ferociously than ever before. The water became hot, searing hot, too hot to bear without artificial protection.

He pulled his hand out of the water swiftly, smiling at how he had finally gotten the jutsu nearly perfect.

Saitosen grinned and decided to take a short break. He made his way back to his home fairly quickly and made himself a sandwich. Once finished eating he saw a group of empty milk cartons in the vicinity, so he decided to take these cartons to the lake so as to fill them with water. These were normal plastic milk cartons that would probably withstand the heat, so when he returned to the lake, he filled them to the brim with the fresh water and closed the cartons with thier caps.

He then proceeded to continue his attempts at the jutsu, begining, of course, with the handsigns. This time around he opted not to say the jutsu's name and instead focused on heating all three of the jugs of water simultaneously. Merely moving his hands at a rapid speed and forming Rat, Ox, Boar, Dragon, Boar, he heated one of the three jugs.

"Hmm. Only one gallon, I thought I had mastered this jutsu already. Appears not." Saitosen thought. He quickly attempted the jutsu again, bringing his hands together in chakra molding forms, and placed his palm on the jug arranged at the bottom of his triangular formation. His fingers landed on the other two jugs simultaneously and Saitosen felt the heat escape from his hands and flow into the cartons, thus changing thier temperature drastically.

Saitosen then popped open one of the jugs and stuck his finger into the hole at the top, feeling the heated water and assuming the temperature at around 90 to 100 degrees he smiled and decided to try the water out. He formed the Bird handseal and spread his fingers out in front of him. The water rose from the jug and wrapped around his hand like a glove. Then water continued flowing from the carton to his hand and form pressurized claws of liquid and chakra around his fingers.

Feeling the heated sensation from the boiled water, Saitosen grinned mischeviously and dashed at a nearby tree. Saitosen struck out at the tree with his hand as if he were scratching at and the tree's bark was ripped off and partially singed as Saitosen reared his hand back. Saitosen watched in awe as the heated liquid slowly dripped off his hands. Putting his fingers to his palm, Saitosen felt his fingers pruning and chuckled to himself.

Learned!

[Mizaki Saitosen, the Plague.]

Saitosen looked up into the sky, grinning about his new found knowledge. When he came back to reality, Saitosen realized that he had pretty much spent his chakra attempting to allocate it correctly. So, he decided to simply continue his training by learning some kind of TaiJutsu, first thing was first was to go to his shack and talk to Usagii about some sort of attack to learn.

Saitosen made his way home taking his time, and when he arrived home he saw Usagii eating the lunch that he had set up for her. "Oh, I was going to wake you up! But good, you're already awake." Saitosen said surprised."Do you know anything I can do, I learned the jutsu you set up for me already. So I'm kind of bored." Usagii's eyes widened as he listened."Wow! Already? Thats those Mizakis for ya! Uh, I heard about a little mission Mrs. Mizukage had asked for a gennin or a group to do if you're interested. Usagii said 'matter of fact-ly.

" That all depends, whats the mission? Mainly, does it involve...Fighting?" Saitosen said hesitantly. "Actually, it involves shepard-ing around a group of snot nosed academy students around the nearby water country so the get a grasp of whats nearby. It could involve a fight though.. Usagii said reinforcing-ly seeing Saitosen's lethargic reaction. Saitosen shrugged and decided to head out and do the mission regardless, because he needed atleast 6 missions before the next chunnin exams rolled on by, considering he was so lazy he missed the last 2 or 3.
